Look at others people's food diaries on here. That's what I do....especially from those who are losing weight well. :)

(reading and watching as others post)

my daughter used phentermine -- under a doctor's close watch -- and she was very successful at losing weight. She had no side effects. She actually just had a baby and got back on it yesterday. Each person is different and while it's wonderful to be able to lose weight on your own, I'm at a point where I'm considering…

I love chocolate so I toss a few Nestle's "dark chocolate" morsels -- just a few and it adds a delight chocolate favor to the oatmeal. While I know making oatmeal yourself is better, for work purposes, I use the instant and add the morsels to it so I can eat it at work.

Do I have to pick just one??? Probably my biggest downfall is chocolate. Is that food? I feel it's a real NEED -- not want. When it comes to "food" -- I love anything Mexican.

I agree with both sides -- weigh every day or don't. The difference is, of course, IF you understand that it can go up and down from day to day and are ok with that, then weight every day; however, it appears it gets you down when it goes ups despite you trying so hard to i would say pick a day of the week and make that…

Congrats! you look amazing!

We have our ebbs and flows -- don't be so hard on yourself. If you can, put this morning behind you and go from this moment forward. I know -- easier said, than done! Is there any way you can get some exercise in to feel like you have offset what you have eaten? If it makes you feel any better -- been there, done…

Mmmm....I haven't read that in a long time but.....not sure if it would have the same impact it did on me years ago lol

If it motivates me -- I'm interested!! :smile:

Apparently you find your pre-portioned food satisfying. I'm trying to link perhaps my not feeling full with eating too fast. Maybe it's not.

I found the answer to my own question -- 2000 is 1 mile...just in case anybody wondered. It's probably been said already. In any case, I'm going to download my info for the last four days and I'll report back. ;)

That's a good point. I think I have eaten fast for that reason too!

OK..I'm a few days behind but I think this would be very motivating. I would like to join. I too, have a step counter like a fitbit...mine is Jawbone. I'll have to see if that gives a conversion for mileage. I walk a LOT to get to work but I would like to get on my treadmill and do a lot more and this challenge will…

Thank you everybody for your thoughts. You all just reminded me the reason I joined weight watchers many years ago was because I bought a package of Reese's peanut butter cups and I went to reach for the second cup and it was gone!!! I didn't realize I had already eaten it. Sad....but true. I'm getting great tips - thanks…

@BernadetteChurch‌ I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was wondering if maybe I should use a timer lol

@DemoraFairy -- thanks. I know there are times that others don't finish before me because they are talking a lot and I'm not but I like your tips. Thanks, I'll try them!

(shaking head) I would have never got that lol

I'm still learning a lot -- What does nvm mean?

I'll just have to learn how to eat a small amount.

suddenly I don't want sushi tonight lol The tempura the best part of sushi.

"ana3067 And what makes it "junk"? I ate ice cream, half a donut, 2 pieces of chocolate, and nutella today. I've eaten like this fr 8 months and lost 30lbs (taking the weight loss slow for my body composition goals). " I don't know how to copy and paste people's comments -- so forgive me and someone tell me how to do it…

@segacs I'm interested in what you eat for breakfast that's only 200 calories

@misskarihari -- yikess...seriously?

Failing to plan is planning to fail -- I like that quote - thank you!

wow....thanks for everybody's thoughts. I need/want/love my breakfast and lunch so I don't think I could save 75% for dinner. My problem with dinners is that I eat with a household so I don't cook or plan the meals. I guess I could start asking what we're having for dinner tonight....actually I think we're going out…

Maple and Brown Sugar Instant oatmeal and I have just started adding 12 dark chocolate Nestle's morsels(the mini morsels). Oh my gosh.....I can't wait for breakfast tomorrow! Not only is the dark chocolate good for me, it satisfies my sweet tooth that I have even in the morning!

you can add me if you like. I'm a professional at this lol -- For me, this is a journey...not a race, not a one time thing. It's also not about starving, or working out all the time. It's about enjoying life and getting to or maintaining a weight that you feel comfortable in. Logging in daily and staying in touch with…

awesome! Congrats!

Wow Amanda, you have a lot on your plate. While I'm not as bad as I used to be, I can be an emotional eater. I'm a believer that we make time for things that are important to us and YOU are important. So you need to make time for yourself. Going to the gym will help you mentally, physically and emotionally not only with…
